BlueOrchard Reports and Updates

BlueOrchard’s award-winning social performance management

Social performance management refers to the process by which an impact investing organization monitors, quantifies and strives to improve its impact. At BlueOrchard, this is a fundamental part of our day-to-day investment process and our impact goals are reflected in each investment decision. To systematically assess the impact of each current and prospective investee and identify potential for improvement, BlueOrchard has developed and constantly works to refine a proprietary tool; the Social Performance Impact Reporting & Intelligence Tool – SPIRIT.

SPIRIT – BlueOrchard’s proprietary impact management tool

As a pioneer in the evolving and growing field of impact investing, BlueOrchard has established itself as an organization that not only follows best practices in impact management, but also creates them. SPIRIT assesses key areas of social and environmental impact, aligned with industry standards such as the IFC Operating Principles for Impact Management (the “Principles”) and the Universal Standards on Social Performance Management. . As part of a consortium of global public and private organizations involved in the development of the Principles, BlueOrchard has significantly contributed to their conceptualization and is a signatory member.
